From what Iunderstand, the coaches feel we should beable to continue the success we experiencedthis fall and winter. The 230 studentathletes in five sports andtwelve levels look like they arepracticing very hard. Theexpectation is that they willcontinue to build and enhancethe MarianCentral image andtraditions both on the fieldsand in the classrooms. Manyconstituent groups such asthe parishes and elementaryschools that prepare our futurestudents and groups like theJr. Canes and Macs basketballhave helped contribute to thissuccess.We will be offering overtwenty sports camps thissummer to young people in the surrounding communities. Thecamps, along with the increased TV, radio, newspaper, andwebsite coverage has sparked a lot of interest in MarianCentral.We look forward to having an outstanding freshman class comingin this fall with over 225 students already registered. From theresponses to our incoming freshman questionnaires, we onceagain anticipate that over 75% of our students will be involved inone or more sports.Other constituency groups involved in the promotion of ourathletic program are the Fathers’ Club, Hurricane Club, faculty,alums, parents, fans, and the surrounding community businessleaders. We want to thank all of you once again for your generoussupport.

Never forget that these are games. Games are meant tobe fun.2. Always compliment athletes no matter what their levelof play.3. Do not criticize athletes, coaches, or officials4. Remember, you only get one chance to make a firstimpression. Someone attending a game for the firsttime may leave with a very unfavorable impression ifthat night we were unsportsmanlike.5. Never embarrass your student-athlete or our school.6. Respect officials and the difficult job they have.7. Remain calm at all times.8. Do not put pressure on the participating athletes. Pressureeliminates the fun and can lead to non-involvement.9. Understand that not everyone can play all the time. Acceptthat each athlete has a role in the development of the team.10. As an adult, let your behavior be an example. Let our studentssee how they should conduct themselves when they areadults and keep in mind that they are observing all of us forwhat is acceptable behavior.To the Parents and Fans AttendingMarianCentralCatholicHighSchool’s Athletic EventsIn recent years, the students of the SuburbanCatholic Conference have made a sincere effortto improve sportsmanship at all of our AthleticEvents. Representatives of the SCC have met andset standards for acceptable behavior at games.While it is wonderful that our students have seen the necessityfor good sportsmanship, we at MarianCentralCatholicHighSchool would like to see the adults lead the way in settinga standard that epitomizes the quality of the people wehave in attendance.
